Customer Question

I am an owner of a condo unit I have read the rules as to parking and guest parking ..we are expected to get a parking pass for guests.I have had a guest who visits maybe 3 non consecutive nights a week and maintains a parking pass. Recently after parking over a weekend we had a notice it isn't supposed to be there..said it was too big for lot..it is a passenger van 18.6" in length..the rules say it cannot exceed 18.8"..the management company didn't have a problem. But the president and one other board member want it to be to not be Parked ever in the lot..they do not provide a specified place to park trucks and vans they don't allow..they recommend a grocery parkinglot 2 miles away..what are my rights to correct this? I've been having this guest over for 9 months and even talked with security that told me it was fine..Its 2-3 nights a week maximum and always had a parking pass from day 1..but the president won't even have civil conversation about it with me to resolve this matter

I'm Doug, and I'm very sorry to hear of your situation. My goal is to provide you with excellent service today.

Quite simply, you are in the right! Unless and Until the Condo Association amends the By-Laws of the association, the President is obligated to abide by the rules as they are, and regardless of his/her personal preferences, if the "vehicle" does not exceed the 18'8" regulation, then you cannot be forced to park it off the property.

You need do nothing. If you park it in the area and it is towed by the association, then you have a meritorious lawsuit against them for the coat as well as interference with personal property. You are in the right, and the President and Board are in the wrong.
